Cliff Weisse -- Accept

Dave's thorough description covers key field marks, including structural points, and convincingly eliminates other species. While the photos are not terribly detailed they serve to back up the field marks listed in the written description including solidly black bill, long primary projection, extensively solid brown tertials, relatively plain wing coverts, streaked neck, mostly white head with dark smudge near eye, and relatively dark mantle shade.

Though I'm least comfortable with Gull identification. The photographs and written description support the identification of this bird.
